King James Loney rescues the Dodgers in the bottom of the 13th with one out, launching a solo blast to the right-field pavilion, as if those fans didn't have enough to eat. The Dodgers wasted men at the corners and none out in the bottom of the 12th, which seemed like a pretty bad omen. But scoreless frames from Kenley Jansen (1 IP), Hong-Chih Kuo (1), Jonathan Broxton (2), Jeff Weaver (2), and God forbid George Sherrill (1--and the win!) stymied the Mets and kept giving our sputtering offense chances to win. Many, many chances. And finally, Loney made the most of one.

DB,It pains me to say this, but Plaschke actually made sense today. He pleads with the McCourts to come together and sell the team now before the judge either awards it to one or the other, or he divides up, ala Solomon.
